about

Songbook Vol. 1 presents The Westerlies in their most intimate format to date. Following their widely acclaimed original chamber music recordings and high-profile collaborations with Fleet Foxes, Big Red Machine, Conrad Tao, and Theo Bleckmann, The Westerlies return to their folk roots for a set of acoustic covers of some of their favorite songs. Listeners are invited into The Westerlies’ living room to bask in the warmth and immediacy of the group’s interpretations of John Prine, Adrianne Lenker, Randy Newman, Aphex Twin, Ólafur Arnalds, and Jason Moran. Stripped down to their essence, the brilliance and feeling of these timeless songs are heard in a revelatory new light.
